bosnia.....here i come

one day i had been called to head office by deputy big boss and give me bomb.

big boss required you in Bosnia. Urgent. 

later i know my future bos put my name foward and approved. only waiting for me to comfirm.

when i ask, how long? he says, not sure. but package to be there as usual...bla..bla..bla......which i had not interested to hear because the oversea package offer was not attractive at all. the person who create and approved that package looks like dont know or dont have feeling  or never been as an professional expatriate. they minset only thinking about less money to be paid and not about people who sacrified to save and protect company interest.

frankly i am not thinking about package but again why me. after few minutes, i think it was destiny for me to be there for reason that only god knows.

but i give a try to be there for reason that i keep to myself only.

then i say, if you cannot tell me how long, let me tell you since ticket provided only after six month, i will be there for six month only if you can give me letter tommorow.  i know before this that they cannot give any black and white within one day  but bacause of desperation the handed me the letter the next day. actually i just want to avoid them talk verbally then after we agree, they always forget and we had to chase them for   official.

with the letter, i can request money to start buying winter clothing since temperature there minus 5 degree.

i left KLIA airport then transit at bangkok before leaving to vianna, austria. at vianna i had to wait for few hours to  change plane to sarajevo.    my new bos had been at airport waiting for me and take me to fuad muhija road at small town Ilidza near our project development site. 

another  malaysian guys that had come earlier stay in that house together with me. but he is planning to be back to malaysia soon.

i stay in this house for next six month to experiance life culture and most important how construction in Bosnia.

below one of my earlist article in my other blog which i created when i was in Bosnia.

setahun sudah berlalu II

pada saat ini setahun yang lalu aku dah lepas dari KLIA ke bangkok dan sekarang berada di atas kapal ke vianna, austria.

puak imegresen siam buat hal periksa aku lama-lama. entah apa yang tak puas hati. aku cakap siam baru tau.



pertama kali aku berada atas kapal lama-lama.sebelum ni ke delhi tak la sampai enam jam tapi kali ni mau berbelas jam.

rupanya dalam penerbangan ni ramai orang vietnam yang nak ke sebelah eropah sana. seorang mamat yang aku tanya, dia dah kerja di sana dan kali bawa anak bini pergi sana.

seorang melayu pun tak ada.terkial-kial la aku sorang tapi peduli apa......



sampai di vienna, cuaca sangat sejuk. nak keluar pun tak tau.lagipun aku dah terlepas tempat keluar.dah tak tau macamana nak pusing balik lagi. terpaksalah tunggu empat jam sebelum ke sarajevo.

tidur aja kat bangku dan nak makan pun tak lalu. sempat juga buka lap top. ada wifi situ.

cuaca kat luar makin sejuk.

keesokannya aku berlepas ke sarajevo dengan austrian air. sampai sana pagi dan bos aku tn hj bad dah menunggu.
suhu disitu masa tu -5 darjah. kali pertama sejuk gila-gila macam ni.

selepas tu aku terus ke pejabat dan kemudian ke rumah di peyton, ilidza yang aku akan tinggal selepas ini selama enam bulan. buat masa ni brader kamali masih ada dan belum balik lagi.

bermulalah episod baru di negara balkan bekas kesatuan yugoslavia, bosnia herzegovina yang banyak kenangan walaupun selama enam bulan saja........
